My How Things Have Changed

On Ring of Fire last week end there was a guest on who was talking about cheap clothing. In the early 1990's we made 50% of our clothing in the US. Now we are down to 2%. And I wonder if China is making our military clothing now.

And the folks to made this possible are American patriots of course.

The interesting thing that this guest said was that the material being used is so cheap and of poor quality that it is not even good enough for scrap. That charities make almost nothing on it in the recycle market.

They even have labels with bad translations. They say "MADE IN CHINA".
